Every swatch of fabric I put up on the web gets colour corrected, and even then computer monitors can vary. You must have to watch your prints along every step of the way to ensure they stay true to your originals. I've hand mixed screen print inks before to get the exact colour I'm looking for, same with offset press inks. When you're doing everything by hand CMYK and pantones aren't always available, and even then seeing the proof is always critical. It must be fun to create art every day and see it turn into something three-dimensional!
